Why I’m not watching the Olympics; and why it doesn’t have anything to do with the repressive ChiCom regime.

By From http://www.imsurroundedbyidiots.com • Aug 11th, 2008 • Category: Blog Entries.Local, Sports

It’s these sports activities.
Rowing, for example; how the hell is that a sport? Row, row your boat gently down the steam…
And consider this fact: these Olympics are scheduled to be the last Olympics where baseball and softball will be played.
Why is that?
Would it have anything to do with the fact that the sport is dominated […]

After our trip to Saratoga Springs, we headed over to visit with my (other) brother and his family in Newbury, New Hampshire for a couple of days. I was thrilled to hear that the NH Craftsmen’s Fair, held right in town, was on the schedule. I’ve be…

When future U.S. Senator Mark Warner came to Fredericksburg recently to fire up some local Obama/Warner supporters, he kept things pretty brief due to his demanding, statewide campaign schedule. But the one meat n’ potatoes item I took away from his “speech” was when he gave his two cents on the current energy crisis. Warner said that the weak U.S. […]



Forget about investigating “Big Oil”; you know who we should investigate? Big Corn.
